Jane Carter Hair Essentials Kit

What if you could have everything your curls needed in one convenient place and you could easily carry it with you wherever you went, whether it's to work or a weekend getaway? Well, you can have it courtesy of Jane Carter Solution. This Natural & Curly Hair Essentials Kit contains six products in small sizes all designed to work with your hair no matter where you are.

Kit contains:

• 2 oz. Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo: A peppermint-tinged cleanser full of moisturizing ingredients.
• 2 oz. Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner: Rich and creamy, this is a wonderful follow-up to either the invigorating shampoo above or the Moisture Nourishing Shampoo.
• 2 oz. Revitalizing Leave-in Conditioner: A spray-on leave-in that wakes up next-day curls, or use it immediately after shampooing and conditioning.
• 2 oz. Wrap & Roll: Need a good wet set product for those no-heat curling sessions? Or an added product to give your tresses sharp definition? This is the product for you.
• 1 oz. Curl Defining Cream: One of the best curl defining styling agents I've ever used, this is a new favorite.
• 1 oz. Nourish & Shine: This multi-tasker is designed for dry hair and skin, making it easy to apply directly to dry tresses and then directly to parched hands.

This is a perfect travel-size companion; it's also a great way to try out a range of products without being stuck with a large bottle or jar of something that doesn't exactly work for you. This was my first foray into Jane Carter and I have to say, I'm now a fan. The Curl Defining Cream is my hands-down favorite -- it leaves curls soft and lightweight with no stickiness or flaking. The rinse-out conditioner is another great product that anyone with thirsty hair can appreciate.

Buy this kit at the Jane Carter website or at a Target, Rite Aid, salon, Whole Foods or other natural grocery near you. The company makes it easy to find a local retailer with its Locator Map. If you're looking for gift ideas or convenience, this kit is definitely worth it.
